Flame-retardant alloys.
Giga-scale forming.
Ruggedized coatings.
Engineered together, Estes is rebuilding the industrial base for exceptional products derived from magnesium alloys & manufacturing processes.
From raw materials to final form, fit, & function — all under one roof. Made here in the USA.
Our Magnesium Thesis
Estes has been quietly innovating across all aspects of this incredible material: flame retardant alloys, an automotive scale forming process, and a multi-layer coating. Together, Estes is building a domestic manufacturing capability for large format magnesium components - built in the USA.
What is the Levius Process?
Estes' proprietary Levius™ process is an end-to-end manufacturing and coating process for magnesium components. It integrates three steps: Estes' flame retardant MgCarbonit™ alloy mixing process, giga-thixomolding, and application of a multi-layer, protective coating that unlocks magnesium for high-voltage cell-to-pack battery architectures. Estes is growing its portfolio of patents pending and trade secrets which cover Levius™ processes, materials, and manufacturing recipes.
How does giga-thixomolding differ from conventional magnesium die casting?
Can Magnus™ integrate next-generation cell chemistries without an architecture redesign?
What certifications will the Magnus™ platform obtain?
Where is the Magnus™ platform manufactured, and what are its domestic content credentials?
